If you are on here - you are my personal hero and one of the reasons I joined the RAF in 1983. Our country owes you much. What you and your colleagues did was incredibly impressive and will likely never be repeated. I joined as a Nav and 8 years later found myself hurtling down a runway in the back of a Tornado GR1, heading off to Iraq from Saudi Arabia and mulling over the oddities of life that got me there! The amazing efforts of Harrier/Sea Harrier pilots a few years earlier was a great inspiration. They had none of the equipment we had and operated off a tiny ship in the middle of a very inhospitable South Atlantic. Now that is quality!
